Publisher's Summary
A heart-wrenching story of love, loss and the power of friendship during unimaginable hardship.
Ireland, 1924. For 13-year-old Nora Doyle every day is a fight for survival in Ballybun, the rural Irish village she calls home. Each night, as she feels the cold wind blowing through the cracks of her family’s cramped cottage, Nora longs to escape the poverty surrounding her and find her place in the world.
When she meets Edward, from the grand house that looms over her tiny village, she feels an unlikely kinship that is impossible to explain, and as she grows from an impulsive child into a beautiful woman, Nora spends every moment she can with him. But Edward holds the key to a devastating truth about Nora’s own family that will change her life forever, leading Nora away from the village, to the bright, dazzling lights of Dublin and the charming baker Joe Lynch.
But sorrow is never far away for an Irish village girl, and when tragedy strikes, Nora must return to Ballybun and face up to the truth that drove her away. There, she faces an impossible choice. Can she deny her roots, or will she always be the girl from Paradise Alley?

Silver Linings
I absolutely love this beautiful heartfelt story! As a Mom who too lost a Son, this experience of loss being a part of the story, and as later disclosed by the author of her life as well. I do know the pain of this grief, I would not wish on my worst enemy, to belong to a club of Mothers who have lost a child. There is no title for this role change in the reality of life. The greatest teachers in this life are the earth angels, our children who went back to the stars, now beautiful angels in the heavens above. This beautiful story told how life can change on a dime, bringing silver linings. Is it all part of a bigger plan?
